Instruments: Piano

Most of my students use Alfred's Piano Course. After just a few lessons, we add in additional books and songs to expose the student to as much music as possible. I believe that the more music a student is exposed to, the better a musician he or she becomes. With the exception of recital pieces, I rarely spend more than a few weeks on one song, but instead focus on guiding students to play a wide variety of music at their level. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

I teach in the bel canto style as I was taught, focusing on developing a greater capacity for breath control, relaxation of the tongue and jaw, good posture, and freedom of movement. However, I tailor every lesson to the student's needs and focus on addressing the vocal issues they face on a given day and in general. I develop a plan for the student each week, like learning a section of a piece or working on diction in a specific verse, but adapt this plan depending on how the student feels that day and what their input is.

I still mainly focus on the percussion section every year, but my responsibilities have spread to assisting with other sections of the band as well. Read More

The role of an instructor is to facilitate the curriculum from the perspective of making the student understand their place in the continuum of the course material being taught. For example, I taught music history with a firm understanding of timeline, events and major human figures involved. However, I focused on making the student deeply familiar with the given time-periods by discussing in depth the human activities involving societal norms, cultural sensibilities and most certainly we analyzed the music; why it sounded the way it did and what were the cultural intentions, via expressivity of the performers and composers.
